I think there is a lot you don't know. Firstly, construction is nowhere near finished on the new ride. There is no way it would be open for this years Haunt.
Secondly, I don't think KI is going to open a roller coaster just for the Haunt and not the rest of season.
Thirdly, all the scary theming serves one of two purposes:
1. Hint at the ride being called Banshee (do your research on this)
OR
2. Throw us WAY off the path of what this coaster is going to be.
My friend said the ride was going to be called "Intamin." Or something like that. And why would they be putting SCARY stuff in the Action Zone if its not for the Halloween Haunt?
Themeing, Build up, Hype, Excitement, doing what should be done, Banshee. Why can't they have a scary themed ride without it being haunt related? Not all of us can or goto the haunt so why not have something scary them year around. Just adds to the park.
Maybe you guys all think the scary stuff is for the new roller coaster but its really for a new Halloween Haunt.......
